Realme 3 3GB RAM variant coming with double storage on May 2

The Realme 3 debuted in two variants - 3GB RAM + 32GB storage and 4GB RAM + 64GB storage, but it's getting a third one now. Today, the company has announced that a new flavor is coming to India on May 2. This new model will come with 3GB RAM and 64GB storage and will be likely sold through Flipkart as well as the company's online store. The price of this new variant is currently unknown, but if we consider the prices of 3GB/32GB and 4GB/64GB models, this one will likely cost around INR10,000 ($143). That said, the Realme 3 isn't the only smartphone from the company that's got a new... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2UKgn48 via

Google Pixel 3a and 3a XL pass Bluetooth certification

Google's latest Pixel 3a and 3a XL are expected to be officially announced at the company's 2019 I/O event on May 7.

Today, the 3a and 3a XL got their Bluetooth certifications as we inch closer to the launch date. A total of eight variants passed through SIG - four for the Pixel 3a and another four for its larger brother the Pixel 3a XL.

Kirin 985 to be mass-produced with 5G modems

Last month we heard rumors that the Huawei Mate 30 could be the first smartphone with a chipset built on the EUV process, and now media representatives in Taiwan confirm the information. Not only that, but Huawei's chip manufacturer HiSilicon will implement 5G modem in all the chips, effectively making all future Huawei flagships 5G-compatible. The new processor will be manufactured using the FC-PoP method (FlipChip Package-on-Package), which allows vertical stacking of transistors. Combined with the Extreme UltraViolet process, the transistor density will be increased by 20% -... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2UJTyO0 via

Last week, a Realme device passed through the TENAA with a large bezel-less display and a pop-up camera.

This according to Chief Marketing Officer of Realme: Xu Qi Chase. The CMO made a Weibo post that revealed the phone's name.

Google admits smartphone sales declined with the Pixel 3

As we approach May, Google is gearing up for its upcoming announcement of its entry into the mid-range smartphone segment with the Google Pixel 3a and 3a XL. We can understand why Google would want to do this. It needs to diversify to better compete in the smartphone market. During Google's earnings call on Monday, Google's CFO Ruth Porat admits that the company sold fewer Google Pixel devices in Q1 compared to Q1 of last year. Porat named "some of the recent pressures in the premium smartphone market" as the determining factor of the weaker sales.

OnePlus 7 Pro camera samples outed

The OnePlus 7 Pro will become official on May 14 as by far the most expensive OnePlus phone ever. This year the company's strategy is to split its flagship line into two - the OnePlus 7 that will be the 6T's successor and arrive with some improvements, as usual. But then there's the Pro, which is going to have an award-winning display and a triple rear camera setup. One of those three shooters is a 3x zoom telephoto lens, and the folks over at Wired have somehow (cough, PR stunt, cough) gotten their hands on a "near final" pre-production model, and proceeded to capture a few snaps to let... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2GTt6xP via

Stock Android won't have a native scrollable screenshot feature

Over the past few years, Google has done a great deal of work to implement useful features into stock Android. Specifically, we're referring to features that existed in skinned versions of Android, for example EMUI or TouchWiz. Such features like the blue-light filter, dual-windowed apps, and always-on display were all implemented on manufacturer skins before making it to Google's vision of Android. One feature that we might not see on the Google Pixel for the foreseeable future is the "scrolling screenshot".

Sprint and T-Mobile extend merger deadline by another month

Monday, April 29 marks the one-year anniversary that both T-Mobile and Sprint announced their plans to merge into a single carrier.

Google Pixel 3a shows up on Geekbench days before its unveiling

Google's Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL are finally going to be made official at the company's annual developer conference, I/O, on May 7. As we get closer to that date they're leaking even more than before, hard as that may be to believe. We've recently seen the Pixel 3a in press renders in white and purple, and today a prototype has made a visit to the Geekbench online database. The phone unsurprisingly runs Android 9 Pie, it has 4GB of RAM, and is powered by a Qualcomm chipset, though oddly enough the board for that is missing in the details.

Realme 3 Pro gets an important update

Shortly after its announcement, the Realme 3 Pro is getting its first OTA update, which is a pretty important one too. It adds super slo-mo video recording and improves overall system stability. The firmware update weighs only 182MB and it carries a build number RMX1851EX_11_A.12, but April's security patch is nowhere to be found. However, there are plenty of changes that can keep you warm at night. For starters, Realme claims that the new update improves the overall clarity of captured photos while the super slo-mo video recording lets you shoot in 960fps.

Huawei P30 Pro gets another software update, enables dual-view camera mode

Huawei just won't stop updating the P30 Pro and we are not complaining. While the last update that rolled out in India was mainly focused on improving the user experience, this one revolves around a cool camera feature - the so-called dual-view mode. The feature was advertised during the announcement of the phone but it's only now that we are seeing it reach users. It comes with the EMUI 9.1.0.153 update and as for now, it's only available in China. It will surely make its way outside the country, though.

Spotify reaches 100 million Premium subscribers

Spotify just announced that it reached a big milestone - 100 million paid users. That's almost half of the service's total users. Those listening on the free tier are 117 million. The official launch in India helped a lot last quarter as about million users signed up the first week and that number doubled in the next month or so. Unfortunately, though, even that's not enough to propel Spotify into profiting. The company lost about €142 million in Q1 2019, which is in contrast to December's €442 million in profit.

Last week another vivo smartphone was spotted on TENAA, and today the device is official. Although it looks a lot like the vivo V9 or the vivo Z1, it is actually called vivo Z3x, despite having almost identical specs. The phone has a Snapdragon 660 chipset, coupled with 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage. The screen is 6.26" LCD panel with Full HD+ resolution and a notch that some would call retro.

Counterclockwise: wireless charging came first, but fast wired charging is more popular

The Palm Pre was ahead of its time - it introduced the mobile world to wireless charging. Unfortunately, for all its innovation, the phone didn't catch up. In fact, manufacturers would ignore wireless charging up until 2013 when they started pushing it more actively. "Fast" wired charging was born relatively late in the game - 2014.
